Is there a way in a new column to group people in groups of 9? The first 9 people would be in group 1, next 9 people would be in group 2, etc?[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)

</tbody>[/TABLE]
In B2 (Alice) just put a 1
In C2 (Barry) place and copy down.
Code:
=IF(MOD(ROW(A3) -1,9) = 1,B2+1,B2)
This will add 1 each ninth person.
